Republicans Get the Justices and Regents.
The latest revised figures on the amend
ment vote place the adverse majority be-
tween 5000 and $500.
Every county in the state has now been
heard FROM most of them fully, though
Manitou and Montmorency are too in
definite to be of service. There is scarce
ly single county In the state In which all
reports concur in giving an identical figure
as the exact majority either for or against
the amendment. The variances are slight,
and when the official canvass is made
it will be found that the
changes will about Offset each
other. The official canvass will probably
show a majority of from 5000 to 5, 400 in
the lower peninsula for the amendment;
of from s,400 to $500 against it in the
upper peninsula, and the extreme range in
the state is from 5000 to 3, 800 against the
amendment.
The returns on the state ticket show
that the republican candidates for supreme
judges and regents have carried the state
by from 5000 to 5000 plurality. Camp
bell ran behind Long in some places, while
the latter ran almost uniformly ahead Of
his ticket throughout the state.
The next supreme bench will be made
up of Judges Thomas b. Sherwood, John
w. Champlin, Allen b. Morse, James V.
Campbell and Charles ID. Long-three
fusion and two republican. 1t will be the
first time that the bench has had five
judges. The fifth judge authorized under
the recently passed law, is calculated to
overcome the difficulty heretofore
experienced of having the court
evenly divided on important ques-
tions Under the new law the terms
of judges hereafter elected are for 10
years. The salary is 81, 900, the legisla-
ture having but recently defeated the bill
TO increase the salaries to 81, 600.
The constitutional amendment relative
to increasing the salaries of state officers
Is carried by liberal majority. Accord
ing to this the salary of the governor will
be raised from $1,000 to SIS, 900; that of
the treasurer and the superintendent of
the public instruction from 81 900 to Ss,-
500 each; that of the secretary of state
and the commissioner of the land office
from $500 to 50, 500 each; and that of the
Encouragement from $500 to SO, 900. The
law further provides that none of the
officers shall receive any fees or perQuisites
for the performance of the duties of their
